Flames coach Brent Sutter is still fending off gossip suggesting his sudden departure from New Jersey and hiring in Calgary was a planned one. "[Coaching in New Jersey] became difficult because of other people, people more important than the game. Did I expect to be in Calgary after I resigned? No. It was such a quick turnaround because they were given permission within five days to talk to me. They wanted a coach in place and they had a timetable they wanted to adhere to."

Rumblings earlier today suggested there were teams considering trading for an injured Sheldon Souray. TSN says chances of him moving are extremely slim.

The defenseman has checked into a hospital with an infection. The severity is unknown, but it may be serious to end his season. Souray recently had surgery to fix a broken hand suffered during a fight with Calgary's Jarome Iginla in late January.

TSN reports Kaberle informed the Toronto media he is willing to waive his no-trade clause if presented with the right situation. Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke has agreed to, at Kaberle's request, to inform him of any trade offers.

Burke previously stated he would not be the one to ask Kaberle to waive his clause.

Is Tomas Vokoun off the block? Or does Florida Panthers coach Pete DeBoer have one heck of a poker face? DeBoer told the Sun-Sentinel Vokoun will start in net for the Panthers against the Philadelphia Flyers.

According to CSNPhilly.com, Predators GM David Poile turned down three offers for the defenseman. The pitches were believed to have come from the New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Poile told each team Hamhuis would not be moved unless he received an offer that "knocks his socks off."
